Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle frame, dating to the 14th century, between AD 1300 ?? 1400 (length: 22.5mm; width: 34.5mm; thickness: 2mm; weight: 3.5g). This buckle is D-shaped in plan and an angular D-shape in section. There is no decoration on the artefact, which also has a narrowed strap bar and a small notch in the centre along the outside edge, which would have originally held the pin (now missing). The buckle frame is in a slightly worn and fair condition with a dark green patina. There are also numerous small scratch marks on both sides of the artefact, probably created when cleaning the buckle. A similar example is illustrated in Egan, G, & Pritchard, F, 2002 edition, ??Medieval Finds from Excavations in London: 3: Dress Accessories c. 1150 ?? c. 1450??, pages 89 ?? 90, ref no 390. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Johnson, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
